Leo Wolpert Advances to Final Table

We have our first winner, over at Table #2.

After Christopher Howard's elimination, we were down to heads up between Leo Wolpert and Michael Gracz. Gracz limped in from the small blind/button, and Wolpert checked his option.

The flop came {A-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Clubs}. Wolpert bet 5,500, and Gracz called. The turn was the {4-Diamonds}. This time Wolpert bet 13,500, and Gracz again called.

The river was the {8-Clubs}. Wolpert bet 43,000, Gracz reraised all in for 192,000 total, and Wolpert snap-called, showing {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for the full house. Gracz mucked, and we have the first of our six final table players.
